Anyone besides me trolling hatrack as a method of procrastination for finals?

I am not studying for finals, but I do have a Chemistry test tomorrow that I should be reviewing.

Posted by Audeo (Member # 5130) on :

I am. I have two tomorrow, then I'm done for the semester, so you'd think I'd try a little harder to study, but I still have time.

Posted by Rico (Member # 7533) on :

Yup, totally procrastinating right now.

I don't feel too guilty though, I did get a good chunk of studying done today, and I still have all day tomorrow to finish so overall, I'm doing pretty well [Smile]

Posted by Sergeant (Member # 8749) on :

Well I came to the library at 7:00 am this morning and it's 10:30 pm. I think i'm gonna call it a night because 830 is coming whether I stay up or not. And if I don't know it now i'm not gonna know it in the morning. 3 hour finals are just killing me though. Had a question on Monday that was allotted 80 minutes. Some people took even more time than that. Insane!

Gnight all

Finals?

That was SO last week. [Smile]

Actually, all I had was one paper. Big paper, and took up way too much of my time to finish, but it's in and I'm on vacation, baby.

Posted by tern (Member # 7429) on :

Totally here to avoid finals. Just took K, only have Civ Pro left. Still got to get a handle on that jurisdiction thingie. Yeck.

Posted by airmanfour (Member # 6111) on :

Join the military! i put off finals six years! Wait....don't do that.

Posted by tern (Member # 7429) on :

Did that too...don't do that, then I ended up being 30 and starting law school, when I could have done it before having two children and a load of debt.

Posted by Evie3217 (Member # 5426) on :

Yeah, I should be sleeping right now and resting up while I can, but alas, my insomnia has chosen this time to kick in. It should be a good time. [Big Grin]

Posted by TimeTim (Member # 2768) on :

yeah, I've got two tomorrow that I have to review for, meanwhile I'm up doing a paper that was due on monday.

I swear I will never procrastinate again, starting next semester.

Posted by Jhai (Member # 5633) on :

I've got one tomorrow, but it's not until 6 pm.

I figure I have all day tomorrow to study. [Wink]

Then one more on Friday and I'm done!

Posted by Eaquae Legit (Member # 3063) on :

I have an exam tomorrow that I am deferring. I hate the idea, but I am in no state at all to write.

Posted by esl (Member # 3143) on :

What's deferring? I guess you don't get to if the instructor hasn't mentioned it, neh?

Posted by Eaquae Legit (Member # 3063) on :

Defer, write it later. For medical reasons (and these include mental breakdown like tonight), one can defer to a later date with a doctor's note.

Posted by esl (Member # 3143) on :

Thanks, Eaquae. Sorry you're having such a hard time. So yeah, no deferring for me..

I am currently procrastinating on studying for my genetics test.

Posted by aretee (Member # 1743) on :

I am prograstinating grading the finals. There they sit in my inbox. I had to give them those short answer questions instead of all scantron. I had to put that map on there so that now I have to go through and grade all those things. Thbbbt.
And their make up work, and clean my desk. I have a habit of Hatracking only during test periods...

*goes to other threads to procrastinate some more*

Posted by Sergeant (Member # 8749) on :

Tern,

Where are you going to law school? I too have Civ Pro next. As a matter of fact in exactly 1 hour. Back to the grindstone. [Wall Bash]

I watched all seven seasons of Buffy during the past two weeks while I procrastinated. [Big Grin]

Here goes nothing [Wall Bash]

I HATE CIV PRO!!!

Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :

Good luck. Don't fear the interpleader!

Posted by breyerchic04 (Member # 6423) on :

One real final (philosophy) and one more test, put a really short paper in a professors box, and I'm done. Hopefully by tommorow at five (though the paper doesn't need to be there till friday at 5).

Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :

Patent done. Finance tomorrow, family law tuesday. One section of a 67 page paper to do a major rewrite on, and editing of the rest. I'm going to see if I can get an extension on the paper until the 23rd.

Whoa! Me too!

And my textbook would infuriate all the ID supporters on the ol' Rack.

Posted by blacwolve (Member # 2972) on :

I have five finals to go. I haven't really studied for any of them. Notice what I'm doing right now...

Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :

By the way, Civ Pro is much easier if you think of it as the rules to a Role Playing Game.

Posted by Miro (Member # 1178) on :

I've got two left. I can't wait 'till it's over.

Posted by pH (Member # 1350) on :

Business finance tomorrow at 8:30am. Gotta make sure I get up at 6 to get there on time.

Also have to write my philosophy paper, which is due tomorrow as well.

Posted by dantesparadigm (Member # 8756) on :

I have to do an intensely boring and thorough research paper on vitamins in addition to studying for sever tests. I can probably get it done in about 3 hours, but that would mean no sleep, and since I didn't sleep yesterday that could be an issue. Thus I've decided to brilliantly solve the problem by neither sleeping nor working.

Posted by ricree101 (Member # 7749) on :

I just finished up with finals earlier today. I guess that means I'm allowed to waste time on hatrack again.

By the way, what is civ pro?

Posted by pH (Member # 1350) on :

Civil procedure, I believe.

Posted by Sergeant (Member # 8749) on :

All done!!! No more procrastinating for me!

Posted by ifmyheartcouldbeat (Member # 8692) on :

No more finals...I'm finally back home and free of classes books and professor's dirty looks for a whole month! WOOT! [The Wave]

Posted by Sergeant (Member # 8749) on :

Well,

Instead of starting another post lamenting my procrastination I decided I would resurect this one.

Have a 15 page brief due tommorrown at 0800 and I only have 9 hours left to work on it. Gonna be a long night [Wall Bash]

I'm procrastinating dealing with life.

I didn't go to class much last week (we only had classes Thursday and Friday) because of the homelessness fiasco.

And now that's still not resolved.

And my anxiety is through the roof; I've taken more Ativan in the past week than I have in the past two months.

On the plus side, I got a 96% on my entrepreneurship project...which was the highest grade in the class.

-pH

Posted by Sergeant (Member # 8749) on :

The really sucky part of this class is that it is only a 2 credit hour class and somehow I am spending more time on it than I do on my 4 credit contracts class.

As much as I hate legal writing I sometimes think this whole law school thing is a bit of a mistake. [Frown]
